Researchers have presented a novel electrode material
for advanced energy storage device that is directly charged with
oxygen from the air. Professor Jeung Ku Kang’s team synthesized and
preserved the sub-nanometric particles of atomic cluster sizes at
high mass loadings within metal-organic frameworks (MOF) by
controlling the behavior of reactants at the molecular level. This
new strategy ensures high performance for lithium-oxygen batteries,
acclaimed as a next-generation energy storage technology and widely
used in electric vehicles.
